I think it is irresponsible for parents to give ghetto names. I used to work for a cell phone company and we were opening a new store, so we needed more employees. He handed me a bunch of applications and told me to trash all applicants whose name was worse that Tameka (including the name Tameka.) I asked him why, and he said that people with ghetto names are rude, have no work ethic, will always be late, will always call in sick, and have no business working in the customer service field. He then told me that he was given that advice from the cell phone service provider. I'm pretty sure that he is not the only employee who thinks that way!!

lol na, if you you grew up in the city and you are ghetto, there's nothing wrong with it. I grew up in Baltimore city so i know all about ghetto. As long as your ok with representing where you come from its ok to give your child a "ghetto" name

Some people might take offense to your using of "ghetto name." I knew what you meant, but that is normal in their culture. So no, I don't see a problem with it. Plus, it gives their teacher a nice heads up.
